that has a typical conversion gain of 14 dB, and an
image rejection of 25 dBc. The device includes a
LO doubler, LO buffer amplifier, and RF buffer
amplifier. Variable gain can be achieved by
adjusting the bias, with turn-down trajectories
optimized to maintain linearity and 2LO leakage
over the gain control range. The output IP3 is 33
dBm at maximum gain.
The MAUC-010506 is ideally suited for 18 and 23
GHz band point-to-point radios under both LSB and
USB operation.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure
performance compliance. The part is fabricated
using an efficient pHEMT process.

damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
static sensitive devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
6.
Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ 150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10

17.68 - 23.62 GHz
App Note [1] Biasing -
MAUC-010506 is operated by biasing Vd1, Vd2, and Vd3 at 4.0 V. The corresponding drain currents are set to
90 mA, 90 mA, and 160 mA respectively. Vg4 requires a fixed voltage bias of nominally -3 V. It is recommended
to use active bias on Vg1, Vg2, Vg3 to keep the currents in Vd1, Vd2, and Vd3 constant, in order to maintain the
best performance over temperature. Depending on the supply voltages available and the power dissipation
constraints, the bias circuits may include a single transistor or a low power operational amplifier, with a low value
resistor in series with the drain supply to sense the current. Make sure to sequence the applied voltage to
ensure negative gate bias is available before applying the positive drain supply.
Rev. V1
App Note [2] I/Q versus I*/Q* -
The IF input to the typical configuration is through a 90° hybrid coupler. The hybrid splits the IF input into
inphase and quadrature phase components which feed into two 180° hybrid couplers splitting into 4 signals.
These 4 signals enter the MAUC-010506 on I/I*, Q/Q* IF inputs. For highest gain, best image rejection and
lowest noise figure, all of the 4 IF inputs should be used.
